Old and run down. Near UGA, which was the reason we booked. We had a suite; the couch was so disgusting that we could not even sit on it. The bed was nice and comfortable. However, only 3 pillows for a king bed and thin blankets.

Hotel served its purpose As a place to stay leading up to a wedding. Room had a musty smell to it, but seemed to be clean. Shades in bedroom windows were white with no dark shade so you couldn’t get room dark for sleeping.

The property was good. Staff person Stefan was kind and understanding however I paid for a room that I did not occupy and I wish there would have been an exception made based on the circumstances and my safety.

The price wasn't bad and it was easy to find. I liked that there was a liquor store basically on premises, even though we didn't need it. The room was adequately clean and a comfortable temperature, though it did smell a little weird. Little things: Pretty sure they are reusing the mini bottles of shampoo, etc. Mine was half empty. The pillows are BIZARRE. Where did they even find these lumpy square shaped pillows? Bring your own pillow. It's great that there is a pool, but the entire lobby smells like chlorine and the floor in the elevator was always wet. The ice machine was gross. Visible black flecks in the ice. We had an issue with our key when we were trying to quickly get into our room while the Lyft driver was waiting. Ran up and down three times and it still didn't work. Not the front desk guy's fault, but it was stressful because we were late, and I had to give the driver a big tip for waiting so long. Anyway, it was not great. I'm not picky about hotels, but I probably wouldn't stay here again.
